Straws - Dangerous?

Horrible story of mine goes back to year 2005 March . I ordered a Club Sandwich and a Sprite in a restaurant somewhere in Manila .  When I finished half of the sandwich I sipped a sprite .  But it didnt taste   like an ordinary sprite I used to drink .  So I sipped once more, but it still tasted the same .  It tasted like a sprite mixed with some kind of oil .  I called the clerk and asked him if the sprite was expired . He said it was just delivered today . So I asked him to taste it . Then he also found that something was wrong with it . Both of us were wondering for a while . Then I got to look inside the straw .  There were a lot of tiny black round things that looked like eggs .  So I cut the middle of the straw lengthwise to have a better look . Yuck . There were a lot of tiny black round things in it .  I suppose they were eggs of cockroach . About 1000 eggs were there .  Then I began to check all the other straws in the straws case one by one .  Almost all of them contained black eggs that seemed to be either the cockroach eggs or excretions . After the incident I began to check all the straws in the restaurants and  fast food chains that I had gone to .  Almost of all the straws contained the same black eggs .  Especially the darker the colors of straws, the more black eggs were  found .  In black straws, extreme amount of black eggs were found . It was found out that it's because the cockroaches live (hatch eggs and  excrete) in the dark places . <Research result>                                                                        * 80% or more restaurants in the malls use red or black colored straws . SO NEXT TIME . . . . BE CAUTIOUS . . . CHECK THE STRAW BEFORE YOU PLACE IT INSIDE THE DRINKS .
